Just wondering if anybody else is quiet on the repair side of business out there. I know we all have fits and starts but the work has slowly dried up, to the point now where its between one and two completed jobs per day. Work from Property Management companies has dropped off too.
Really noticed saturday work drop of at first and saturdays had always been prodominently one of our busiest. We cover Sussex, Surrey, Cheshire and Merseyside, and its the same problem in all areas. 😕
Re: Very Quiet
It’s quiet everywhere on sales and service, has been for some time dependent on area with little bursts of biz here and there.

Re: Very Quiet
Well THIS THREAD has been long running on the subject……much talked about, nature of the beast situation, schools about to all break up, suitcases packed…. spent up on filling the supermarket trolley and the fuel tank on the Mondeo. …..HMRC tax bill due by the 31st…..water bill just hit the coconut matting….you catch my drift?
You are not alone my friend, we are all rowing the same ruddy boat and right now it’s taking on water…. 🙁

Re: Very Quiet
we have been average since feb ,just getting enough in every week to keep us occupied we normally start to see an up turn in work starting in july but this year the first two weeks in july were very slow, picked up a little in the last week but no more than average at the mo 🙁
Re: Very Quiet
I think we are very fortunate, we have been absolutely rushed off our feet and can’t keep up. It will probably slow down now the kids are breaking up for the summer hols.

When you’re quiet, that can be turned in to a good thing! Sit back and wait for it to get busy again? Nahhhh… Get out there and find the work! It is there to be had 😉
